This incredible tour starts in Zurich, Switzerland, and travels through Austria, over the stunning Grossglockner and viewing the awe-inspiring Carinthian Lakes, before exploring the highlights of Slovenia and Croatia.

We visit charming Lake Bled in the Julian Alps and the quaint Slovenian coastline. We stay on the relaxing Red Island in the Adriatic and among the inspiring UNESCO Heritage Plitvice Lakes. Continue to Split to view the amazing Palace of Diocletian, as well as the attractive island of Hvar, before travelling along the scenic Dalmatian coast to the mediaeval city of Dubrovnik, the jewel of the Adriatic. Take in the ancient, red-roofed island of Korcula and the natural beauty and historic highlights of nearby Montenegro.

From Dubrovnik we take a short flight to the vibrant Croatian capital city, Zagreb, for an overnight stay and possible 3 night extension to explore the city and surrounding countryside.

This program includes places which can only be explored on foot and where walking tours may be a little longer and not always on the flat. Accommodation may have some stairs and or have some rooms which may involve some walking to access. All our programs naturally involve some walking in order to discover bet­ter the places visited and, although we arrange porterage where this is available, participants are expected to be able to handle their own bags. Our program leaders will always try to make as much of the program as possible available for those who find walking longer distances, uphill or down steps difficult but, in same places, this cannot always be avoided. If you have any concerns at all about your level of fitness, please do not hesitate to talk to us and discuss further with the experts who know the particular demands of each program.
